Definitely keep the small bumpers, and deck it......    :cool:
I'd also lay the rear wiper flat, and replace the front and side indicators with smoked ones............

Nice, dont waste time/money on things like big bumpers, wing mirrors, grills etc.

Id Just deck it, get some smoked front indicators and side repeaters, lay the wiper flat, s/s exhaust and some rims (ronal turbos oh yes)

Defo slam.

Why does everyone always say get a s/s exhaust? They come with s/s exhausts gawd dammit :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
